Don't believe France's reputation as a country where sexual peccadillos are always overlooked. After a vote by the country's National Assembly on Wednesday, it has just joined a growing group of European nations where buying sex is now illegal.

The move follows similar bans in Sweden and Norway, while other European countries are also scaling back laissez-faire prostitution policies. Germany is poised to change its liberal sex trade laws, while Ireland is also debating a measure similar to France's. <a href="http://www.theatlanticcities.com/technology/2013/12/across-europe-growing-sense-legalized-prostitution-isnt-working/7777/">Is the end of legal prostitution in Europe in sight?</a> <blockquote>(Don't miss the deep and interesting links found within the article.)</blockquote> For the many who will no doubt be intent on commenting before even reading the linked article, it references a wide movement to replace both laissez-faire prostitution policies as well as repressive policies meant to shame and further marginalize vulnerable sex workers with policies that target the pimps and Johns who drive the industry. tag:metafilter.com,2013:site.134571Sun, 08 Dec 2013 05:48:44 -0800Blasdelb
